OFSTED Music materials

In March this year, OFSTED published Music in schools: wider still, and wider, a report which highlighted the importance of giving sufficient, regular time for developing aural awareness and musical understanding and ensuring that schools prioritise giving pupils opportunities for practical, creative application and response to music.

To coincide with the launch of the new Music Education Hubs, OFSTED has now released Music in schools: promoting good practice – professional development materials to promote dialogue between music teachers, headteachers and music hub leaders.
